Get Organised! ACI Conference

11 – 5pm 2 December 2012 University of London Union Malet Street

On the 2 December supporters of the Anticapitalist Initiative are organising Get Organised! a one-day conference to discuss how to develop the project into the new year. Participants in the initiative will discuss the direction they would like to see the organisation will take.

The December conference is a chance for each local group to voice their position on a number of policy platforms to be decided. Of particular importance is the structure of the organisation itself.

We want to gather the widest possible opinion on what you want the ACI to become, and how we can turn it into more defined and recognisable movement. Should we retain the current autonomous structure that allows local groups to organise their own strategies and events? How much coordination do we need – what should the balance between coordination and autonomy be? How can the ACI involve local members at a more national level? These are just some of the many points of contention that are likely to arise at the December conference, local groups will organise meetings so supporters can present ideas and voice opinions on the future direction of the organisation.

Sessions include –

* What future and direction for the Anticapitalist Initiative? How should we organise? * Practical organising – building trade unions and community anti-cuts struggle * An autonomous project to launch a new Marxist magazine* How did Up the Anti go? A discussion with co-sponsors
* Proposals and motions
